I bet Twyla is LIVID that AI is coming in to steal all her late-season-entry thunder this crappy season.
Unless Jerry Zaks uncovers the ghost of Michael Bennett I think AI is the CLEAR front-runner at this point.
The Tonys have still not lived down the CONTACT controversy. They will not give a dance revue the Tony AGAIN, even if it is brilliant.

While Come Fly Away appeals to my sensibilities more than American Idiot, it is Memphis that really intrigues. A new musical with, gasp, new music and an actual book! Of all the video clips I've seen, the ones from Memphis have gotten me more interested than anything else. I've heard/seen some clips from Addams Family, too, and that doesn't do it for me, either.

Why the title change? Come Fly With Me "says" Sinatra, while Come Fly Away reminds me of some old rock song (by Rush or Journey or God knows who). So why??

Until, of course, they do.
Why the title change?
Rights issues with someone. I don't know the whole story, but the title change was not voluntary.

Thank you, Yero. It would behoove the producers to explain things further lest irresponsible gossip tarnish the reputation of their show. Just sayin'.
